As beginners in bondage play, we found this product very fun. We cannot see how the restraint could be used solo, but if you are a contortionist by profession, give it a try. As beginners, it was perfect for our use but could see it used by those more experienced. The level of restriction can be easily varied from light restriction, allowing a greater amount of freedom, to almost complete immobility. We paired it with other toys which added to the overall fantasy. We have both used the restraint, allowing each other to have control. It is always good to share!

The overall design is very simple with a utilitarian feel. The straps are constructed from durable nylon and attached to the two center D-rings with single stitching. The wrist and ankle cuffs are the same durable nylon and attached to the straps with two O-rings and a swivel clasp. The only component of the system which may break after much usage would be the plastic adjuster slides on the straps. The plastic seems to be strong so that may not be an issue (read our follow up review in 10 years). The cuffs are padded with a soft velvet and secured with Velcro strips. As with any Velcro, over time it will collect hair, lint, fur, small insects...Okay, maybe not the insects. For the money, we were very pleased with the overall craftsmanship, ease of use, and design.

Woo hoo! Yes, it met our needs and expectations - multiples times. Experience is the best teacher and we found that our initial set up of the straps in a X configuration (with the straps at the corners of the mattress) allowed more freedom once I moved and pulled on the straps. The straps ended up at the head and foot of the bed, allowing me to almost reach the velcro closures of the wrist cuffs. Yes, we could have stopped and adjusted the straps but what fun is that?!? The second time we used the system, we placed the straps coming out the sides of the mattress in a horizontal "H" configuration. That worked much better and allowed little to no "wiggle room".

There is minimal care needed for the system. The nylon can be spot cleaned if needed. We have stored it by simply wrapping the system onto itself and storing it in a drawer. The entire system will fit inside a shoe box.

The packaging was basic plastic package with a restrained sexy brunette on the front. We were disappointed that she wasn't included. There were minimal directions on the back but we didn't read them.

Regarding set up - I am not an instruction reader nor is my boyfriend an engineer, so at first glance we were a little daunted with the set up. However, once the system was unfurled from the box, it was very easy to set up and adjust. We adjusted the system on top of the bed first to get the correct length for the straps. We both installed the restraint by lifting up our respective mattress corners and placing the system between the mattress and box spring. Since the initial installation we have individually installed the system under the mattress, and it is easy to do.


If you chose to keep the system installed under the mattress, the straps can be tucked in far enough that they are not visible unless you are looking for them. Good for people with housekeepers who may change the sheets as part of their cleaning schedule.

She said: The first time we used the restraints, I was lying on my stomach. The loss of control combined with the inability to see my boyfriend was very erotic. The anticipation of not knowing what was going to happen next and yielding to his desires was a huge mental turn-on. He used both a paddle and a whip which heightened the overall experience. We have used the restraints with me both lying on my back and stomach in combination with the Liberator wedge. Every position and combined toy usage have satisfied! The only downside is it is possible to get out of the restraints with some concentration and a little slack of the straps. The swivel clasps are close enough to the wrist cuff that they could be unlatched. I also tend to twist quite a bit when orgasming so I could feel the metal connectors on my wrists at times. It wasn't bad, just a different sensation from the soft, warm fabric.

He said: The restraint system was wonderful giving me full control both physically and mentally over my girlfriend. Mental restraints combined with carnal desire put a "good angel" on one shoulder..."give her some slack" and the devil on the other shoulder...."pull the straps tighter". When the roles were reversed, being tied down was enjoyable in the sense that it gave my girlfriend control which she tends to relish.
